New site, please comment

New MessageNew site, please comment (modified 0 times) replacs
I am putting up a new site for selling I-Openers and need your help.
I have a friend that works at CC and can get as many as I want, so I have a unlimited supply.
I was thinking of selling them for $200 each plus $50 for shipping and will start taking orders before I get them to make sure I am covered since my mom won't co-sign for a creditcard. I have the same cost as CC does, about $50 for each I-Opener, so this is profitable.
The plan is to dry up all the ones that could go to other CC's so I can maximize profit and get that new lexus I want so bad because there is this girl at school that would go for a ride if I had some money I think.
If none are available at the stores, people will flock to my site, what a plan!
I plan to use this board as a way to get people to come to my site. I think I can post in news because it is a new I-Opener (not used), and in technical because the I-Opener is technical and runs on technology, and everywhere else because I want maximum profit and really don't care anyway. Someone at school said this was called spramm, whatever that means, but it sounds good to me if it makes me big money.
I saw something here about no commercial ads, but what does that really mean? It's not very clear, so I will post anyway, nothing will stop me from making big bucks.
This is a great business model because there are no start up costs (mom pays for the AOL account for the whole family), and no advertising costs because I use this board for free advertising.
It's great because all the dummies out there will pay ahead of time because I will trick them into thinking I have sold lots of these by putting a countdown from like 25 and every day say "only 20 left", so within a week I am down to "7 left" and everyone plunks down $$ and then I put in a order for them.
In case you are wondering, I am not worried if I can't get them anymore because I will just shut down my internet account on AOL and disappear. I won't put a address or phone number on the site. You don't really think I would give a refund do you? Hey, I don't even have a business license! Talk about no overhead!
I was thinking of calling the site "I-direct.com" or something close to that as soon as I can reserve a domain name.
So what do you think? I need to know if I missed something so I can maximize my return on my investment of $1, so please comment.
Oh, if you are going to whine and complain about how you can't get a I-Opener from your local CC because of me, shut up, I don't want to hear it. This is business for profit and that makes it OK to have no morals, so screw you.

Not a new idea, if you rumble through this site enough you will find a link to another site already doing this. My only other comment is that you might expose yourself to legal action from NPLI. I am sure there are some contract issues between them and CC on how these are going to be sold, and the arrangement you suggest might very well violate them.

look at it this way. it would cost NPLI a lot more than $300 to persue a single individual who buys and re-sells the unit and they might not prevail since the defense of "i bought this, decided not to use it and re-sold it in the sealed box" can be used. however, when you are doing this en-mass, this is no longer the case. NPLI has good reason to feel that you are a hazard to their survival and will be willing to spend the $$ to shut you down if they can. anyway, the economics of this are not all that good at the moment. you will clear not a lot of money per unit and have lot of legal exposure. my advise is not to proceed with this plan.

Hey folks,

Replacs obviously was doing a take-off on another site that was once posted here.

As for closing his account AOL, if you read the latest issue of Boardwatch, you will see that it is still the ISP where it's easy to sign up but at times impossible to cancel!

If I may express my opinion, if it's supposed to be a joke, it's not funny. I wish someone would delete this thread and all the others that were posted in all the other areas. The "muff divers" post was funny (I thought) and it was pulled, so I know it is possible. TO WHOMEVER: PLEASE delete these threads!
One more comment -- there is a specific area for jokes, you can even post lame ones there.
